Relay for life
Joondalup Health Campus became sponsors for Relay for Life, an initiative promoted by the Cancer Council of WA, in 2008. Relay for Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will be remembered, those going through cancer will be supported and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
It is an event which touches people’s hearts like no other. It is a fun, outdoor, overnight fundraising event where teams of 10 -15 people take turns to walk or run relay-style around their local oval for 24 hours.
In 2008, JHC had eight teams, which consisted of over 100 staff members from the hospital, participate. They each raised money for the cause, some organised quiz nights and raffles in order to donate funds.
City to surf
With more than 30,000 participants each year, the City to Surf is renowned as one of the most anticipated community events on the calendar. It is an event where good health, community spirit and good fun can be found in abundance.
In recent years, Ramsay Health Care WA has taken on a wider role as major sponsor of The City to Surf incorporating the family of Ramsay WA hospitals including Joondalup Health Campus, Attadale and Glengarry Private Hospital's in addition to inaugural sponsors Hollywood Private Hospital.
Each year, City to Surf is supported by The Ramsay Spirit with about 1,000 eager staff and family getting involved in the 12km and 4km courses. The staff at Ramsay Health Care are renowned for their enthusiasm so it is little surprise that the Ramsay team won the largest corporate team in 2008 for the fourth time in a row.
At Ramsay's, we are very proud of our partnership with The Activ Foundation's City To Surf, promoting good health and helping people with disabilities.
Valentine’s Day Concert
The City of Joondalup holds an annual Valentine’s Day Concert as part of a series of four free outdoor summer concerts. It has proved to be one of WAs premier community events and attracted over 8,000 people from the metropolitan area.
In 2009, ARIA award winner and multi-platinum recording artist Damien Leith, and his band, was the headlining act of the concert.
Joondalup Health Campus believes free community events such as the Valentine’s Day Concert are integral in maintaining the thriving multicultural city that is Joondalup and as such were pleased to be Premier Sponsor of the event.
